Bug fix
Description:
pmake (on modi4, for instance) complains about undefined variables
if it is run without the -V flag, which turns those errors to warnings.
Solution:
Added test to configure.in to see if $MAKE will allow Makefiles
with undefined variables. If not, sets -V flag in AM_MAKEFLAGS.
Ensured that all custom make targets use AM_MAKEFLAGS.
Also defined all variables that caused errors in top-level Makefile.am.
This means that pmake can be used to build hdf5 *from the top level
only*. To run make from a subdirectory, still need to use -V flag
(or use make or gmake).
Platforms tested:
modi4, heping, copper, sleipnir
Update port
Description:
Allow FreeBSD builds to use Intel C & F90 compilers (C++ is not working
yet on FreeBSD, so that'll come along later)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/Intel C & F90 compilers
Does not affect other platforms...
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Found the permanant fix to automake/CVS dependency problem
Solution:
Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE macro to configure.in.
Now automake will never try to regenerate Makefiles, Makefiles.in,
configure, H5config.h, etc. when they are out of date, nor will it
print any warnings.
Developers should be very very careful to use reconfigure script,
and can add --enable-maintainer-mode flag to configure on heping
to regenerate these files correctly.
Platforms tested:
heping sleipnir copper
Bug fix
Description:
Configuration files' timestamps were incorrect.
Solution:
Update Makefiles.in. Also added correct paths to autotools on heping,
so heping build should be able to re-generate configuration files even
if they are still broken.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir
Bug fix
Description:
Dependencies between configure files (aclocal, configure.in, configure,
Makefiles.am and .in) are still causing Makefiles to try to run autotools
during build.
Solution:
Committed all Makefiles.in to update their timestamps.
As a temporary measure, forcibly prevented automake from running
autotools during build by redefining the variables it uses.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir (No changes to Makefile content)
Bug fix
Description:
Different compilers use different flags to include Fortran module files
Solution:
Changed boilerplate to use configure variable rather than hardcoded -M flag.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, sol, copper
Configuration feature
Description:
HDF5 now uses automake to generate Makefiles
Solution:
Makefile.in files are now generated from Makefile.am files.
To reconfigure (after chaning a Makefile.am or configure.in):
/bin/sh bin/reconfigure.sh

Does not require h5committest
Description: The fix of the loss problem of the last 2 bytes of mantissa on sleipnir has
not been successful. It happens when converting from unsigned long long to long double.
The failure has been on and off.
Solution: Hard set a macro to disable unsigned long long->long double for FreeBSD until
a good solution is found to solve this elusive problem.
Platforms tested: sleipnir and fuss. Only sleipnir is concerned.
Misc. update:
Description: For HP-UX11.00, compiler's casting from 'long double' to most of
integers. A macro was hard set in config/hpux11.00 before.
Solution: Let configure detect this case and set the macro.
Platforms tested: kelgia, fuss, modi4. These systems are mainly concerned.
Description: For HP-UX 11.00, the compiler generates 'floating exception'
when converting 'long double' to most of integer types.
Solution: Define a macro for all other systems except HP-UX 11.00. Hard set
this macro to 'no' in config/hpux11.00 to skip this test for HP-UX 11.00.
Platforms tested: modi4, kelgia, fuss
Description: Start to support software conversion between long double and
all integers.
Solution: No major changes to the algorithm. Changes to configure is to
exclude SGI for long double to integers test because there're too many problems
in their compiler.
Platforms tested: h5committest, modi4, fuss, Teragrid, arabica
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Description: C++ build failed on kelgia. Binh-Minh fixed
it for 1.6 branch, I am bringing changes back to

Bug Fix/Code Cleanup/Doc Cleanup/Optimization/Branch Sync :-)
Description:
Generally speaking, this is the "signed->unsigned" change to selections.
However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier
until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation. So... I
brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the
release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in
performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch,
but not the other.
I've also tagged the repository before making this checkin with the label
"before_signed_unsigned_changes".

mpich 1.2.6 does not like the tweaking of using -O2 flag.
Comment out the Tweaking since it caused problems to mpich1.2.6.
Need to investigate the reasons and effects to tweak.
Platforms tested:
Tested in heping using mpich 1.2.6 and in eirene uisng mpich 1.2.6.
Port
Description:
Initial work for supporting GNU FORTRAN/F95 on FreeBSD. I think I've
got things mostly set up correctly, but I'm getting an internal compiler
error on one of the FORTRAN sources, so I'm not going to add this configuration
to the daily tests yet.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/GNU FORTRAN
Not tested in h5committest
Bug fix.
Description:
MIPSpro Compiler 7.4.x starts to support C99 features
but stdint.h has a "guard" in it that will #error if
cc is invoked without asking for C99 standard. But it
does not result with a non-zero compiler exit code, thus
configure thought it is okay to use header file stdint.h.
This causes problems later.
Solution:
Default to use the C99 compiler if available.
Platforms tested:
Tested in Sandia tesla machine which is a new SGI machine.
Improvement
Description:
Added strip option to PROD_CFLAGS to remove symbols for smaller
production file size.

Description:
Restored correct setting of compilers (-Wall etc for debug flags
only, c99 by default,...) that were wiped out by the commits before.
Platforms tested:
Tested in TG-NCSA, both production and development mode.
(Still need to figure out the proper flag to use for Profile.)
Bug fix.
Description:
v8.0 -O3 infinite loops when compiling test/tselect.c. Use -O2.
Platforms tested:
Only tested in TG-NCSA, use both default and --disable-production options.
Update flags
Description:
Update gcc compiler flags to support the early gcc 4.0 snapshots available
on sleipnir
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/gcc 4.0 snapshot
Too minor to require h5committest
Improvement.
Description:
Change the default CC, F9X and CXX compilers from ecc/efc/ecc
to icc/ifort/icc because Intel keeps changing their compiler
names. This eliminated the warning messages that a wrong
compiler name is used.
Platforms tested:
Tested in Tg-login NCSA only since that is the only
IA64 platform on site.
Description: For Intel 8.1 compiler, C99 standard has to be enabled to define macro ULLONG_MAX in its own header file limits.h.
Solution: Add flag -std=c99 to Intel compiler if the version is 8.1.
Platforms tested: Tested v1.6 because this is a very simple change.
Bug fix
Description:
"Teach" the configure scripts about Intel 7.1 compilers, which don't have
_quite_ the same compiler flags
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
Bug fix
Description:
Removed the cache values of sizeof signed and unsigned int_fast8_t
and int_fast16_t since the vendor changes them often.

Code cleanup/bug fix
Description:
Remove the undocumented "$NOFP" shell variable which would allow production
builds without removing the stack frame. This was cascading between C and
FORTRAN builds and causing problems.
Solution:
Hard-code removing the stack frame for now. Users would have needed to
read the configure scripts anyway, so there's not really much benefit to the
extra knob. Users who need this functionality (production builds with stack
frames) are debugging probably, so they will need to modify the script and
build their own version of the library now.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (verbena)
Too minor to require h5committest
Code cleanup
Description:
Default to using mpif90 if CC=mpicc and --enable-fortran flag is given,
but no F9X compiler is set.

Too minor to require h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
Tweak PGI compiler auto-detection to work for version 5.0 compilers as
well as version 5.2 compilers.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (verbena) w/PGI compilers
Not tested with rest of h5committest platforms
Fix configure bug that appears on SDSC DataStar.
Description:
Two cached "sizeof"s in ./config/powerpc-ibm-aix5.x cause builds
on SDSC Datastar to choke.
Solution:
Commented out the offending "sizeof"s. Included comments indicating
the reason for the change.
Platforms tested:
copper
Misc. update:
n/a
Bug fix.
Description:
$CXX_BASENAME was not set yet if $CXX was pre-set to g++. In turn,
CXX_flags are not picking up the g++ values.
Solution:
The correct solution should be done in configure which should have
setup CXX_BASENAME if $CC is set before sourcing this file.
Put a special patch here for g++ for now.
(Also added the recognization of icc as another name for Intel
compilers.)
Platforms tested:
No h5committest but tested in TG-NCSA since these changes affected
the IA64 platform only.
Misc. update:
Fix to config for ia64-linux (C++)
Description:

Improvement.
Description:
setup default setting for C++ API. Default to use the ecc compiler.
Platforms tested:
Tested in TG-ncsa which is the IA64 platform. None of the standard committest
platforms would have tested this change.
Misc. update:
Description: Added support for Absoft Fortran compiler
Solution: Modified configuration file to check which Fortran compiler is used
and set appropriate flags.
Platforms tested: verbena with pgf90 and Absoft f95 compilers
Misc. update:
Purpose: Maintenance for MAC OSX
Description: Added support for Absoft Fortran compiler f95;
Ddefault compiler is set to IBM xlf.
Solution:
Platforms tested: pommier with xlf and Absoft f95 compilers
Misc. update:
bug fix.
Description:
The previous patch of -D__GNUC__ was causing failure in the
newer compiler. The previous failure could not be repeated
any more. So, removed it.
Platforms tested:
Tested only in TG-NCSA since the change affects only the ia64 platform.
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
It uses the value of $ARCH as a gcc option but the linux clusters
at NCSA define $ARCH as environment variable with values that are
not a valid compiler option. That caused the configure to fail
because it was not able to compile at all.
Solution:
Change ARCH to lower case $arch (convention dictates environment
variables are upper cases.) Also preset $arch to null and do not
honor any pass it values.
Platforms tested:
Attempted to run h5committest but sol was failing due to /tmp
filled. Copper and verbena passed. Also passed in TG-NCSA.
